This bill amends Section 628.13 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, focusing on concurrent enrollment for high school students. It mandates that school districts cover the cost of tuition waivers for eligible high school seniors participating in concurrent enrollment, allowing them to receive waivers for up to eighteen credit hours. Additionally, high school juniors can receive tuition waivers for up to nine credit hours, contingent upon the availability of school district funds. The bill also introduces a requirement for students who withdraw from a concurrent enrollment course after the withdrawal deadline to reimburse the school district for fifty percent of the tuition costs.

The legislation emphasizes the importance of making concurrent enrollment opportunities accessible to all eligible high school students and requires the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and the State Board of Education to promote these opportunities. Furthermore, it mandates annual reporting on the concurrent enrollment program, including participation rates and graduation outcomes. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
